Discharm

/dɪsˈtʃɑːrm/ verb

Definition

To break or remove a charm or spell from someone; to disenchant or remove the magical influence from.

Etymology

From dis- (negation/reversal) + charm (from Old French charme, ultimately from Latin carmen 'song, spell'). The prefix reverses the magical effect.

Kelly Says

While 'disenchant' is modern, 'discharm' suggests actively breaking a magical hold — it appears in fantasy literature and historical texts about witchcraft as the specific reversal of a spell.
